Subject: Centralia Pennsylvania Ghost Town
Content: This is fascinating to me.. garbage catches on fire near a coal mine sometime in 1962 and then sets coal on fire...they try to extinguish it for years but ultimetly they give up and evacuate most of the town.Some people still remain but essentially it's a dead town with toxic soil and smoke steaming up out of cracks and holes all over the town. Some people say this is the basis for the Silent Hill movie. http://www.offroaders.com/album/centralia/centralia.htm There is some info about it on youtube as well... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkHfnp2czZQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuMVQCHUzVM [IMG]http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/9622/centtodayai2.jpg[/IMG]
